US publication accuse Priyanka Chopra of being a 'scam artist'

From the 75-foot veil to the sangeet and every wardrobe change in between, we've been enamoured, obsessed and taking serious notes.

But apparently, there are a few folks out there who felt otherwise.

Enter: The Cut, New York Magazine's (supposedly) female-focused publication.

The website is currently under heavy fire after publishing an article which accused Priyanka Chopra of being a "global scam artist".

"Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are both superstars. But is their love real? I have some thoughts," the article - since removed but available in part via The Wayback Machine - starts.

“... All Nick [Jonas] wanted was a possible fling with Hollywood’s latest It Woman, but instead he wound up staring straight at a life sentence with a global scam artist."

"... Personally, I’ve been haunted by the images of Priyanka dancing to Nick’s song 'Close'."

“Priyanka: She is a modern-day scam artist, in my opinion. That’s right: Nicholas Jonas married into a fraudulent relationship against his will this past Saturday, December the 1st, and I’ll tell you why I think so.”

“Priyanka and Nick are finding ways for their ‘love’ make them money – circumventing the methods used by the celebrities of yore, who stuck to selling their wedding or baby photos to magazines.”

An entire paragraph was also dedicated to Nick's preference for older women, written in a way that implies dating older women is a flaw and that Nick is somehow being taken advantage of:

"At 20, Nick claimed, he had already dated an unnamed woman 15 years his senior. Around this time, Nick was also linked to Australian singer and Actress Delta Goodrem, who’s eight years older than Nick, and in 2015, Nick was linked with Kate Hudson, who’s 13 years his senior."

Understandably, an avalanche of social media users have hit out at the publication and writer, labelling the article as xenophobic:

also congrats to @TheCut for publishing the single most sexist and frankly xenophobic take on the priyanka/Jonas wedding?! Priyanka has had an extremely productive and successful career and she is doing nick Jonas a favor by marrying him. pic.twitter.com/bG03xnaoxC

As if crossing over to Hollywood is considered some major career feat? Do you even know how many millions of ppl watch Bollywood and how large the industry is? H’wood is no major upgrade for her she was already a star, just not for the white man

For a publication that “shows women’s what they are made of” @TheCut has a lot to answer for . The article on @priyankachopra was sexist , racist and disgusting. Also it’s written by a woman which is so sad. It reeks of envy and bitterness. @mRiah shame on you! https://t.co/bmbbX7LrAT
